Allow standard PC floppy drives to be used with an Amiga
A small PCB designed to sit between the Amiga motherboard and the floppy drive. Based on the same idea as the EZ-DF0 that was sold by Eyetech many years ago.
Testing shows it works well, though ATK shows a fluctuating RDY signal.

Questions
How big is the EZ FD PCB?
It measures 22.9 × 48.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the EZ FD use?
8 parts, built around the 74LVC1G32Z. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the EZ FD KiCad files?
From the indigolemon/EZ-FD repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is EZ-FD.kicad_pcb and its schematic EZ-FD.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the EZ FD design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the AGPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
